Quarantined? Here are my running options.

[@pandaenthusiast01]

My wife and I fortunately got a treadmill right before things started getting locked down in Oregon (though ours only goes up to 15% max). We came up with a challenge to virtually climb the elevation of Mt. Hood from sea level: 11,250'. We had little magnets with our faces that we moved up the mountain as we went. Silly: yes. But you gotta get creative to stay sane during these times!

I love the idea of having a "mini trail" in my backyard! Great work. Stay safe!!

[@breath7]

Jamil. It's interesting that you are talking about this now. I have actually been doing this for some months now. I have 2 acres in Payson and have built some trails on it. My trail is about the same distance as yours. Thank you for sharing! Everybody stay safe out there! We will get through this!

[@runningwithmarc]

I ran just over a marathon on my 20ft (6m) balcony this weekend, coronavirus may keep us locked down, but it can't have our spirit hey! I livestreamed it for my KZbin channel, you should do that also Jamil. Awesome video mate

[@chocolate_squiggle]

That's really great for you. But man that sounds like the most boring livestream ever. Sorry just fact. We don't need 100 other youtubers livestreaming themselves on a treadmill or running 1057 times around a couple trees in their back yard.

New race...Barkley's Backyard West....in your back yard !

[@chones_]

There's a semi-shelter in place lockdown in Texas (with lots of exceptions), at least the city I live in, but I have found that while the local parks are more crowded, the unpaved single track at my favorite park is empty except for a few mountain bikes. For some reason, most people have always stuck to the paved trails. This may change but so far the only major change to my running routine has been to avoid my usual routes that tend to be more crowded which are in the more touristy areas along the river downtown.

[@FreeRangeMiller]

Thankfully, Nevada hasn't gone into a full lockdown. Everyday that I'm off, I make it a point to spend a few hours outside hiking in the mountains. Hopefully, folks will smarten up about the handrail situation on Camelback Mountain...that is disturbing. I think you can get low 6s on the backyard mile. I'm going w/ 6:18. Also, a million thanks to all the nurses and doctors risking their lives everyday. Talk about some heroes.

[@fredecks4641]

I'm jealous of your massive Phoenix back yard! Anyway, here in Boulder, Colorado, we have a trail that averages about a 40% grade for just over a mile, up Fern Canyon to Bear Peak. It's my favorite trail! I won't try to guess your back yard loop time, but I expect a 40% grade for a mile may take you 35 minutes if you're fresh. Let's see!

[@busstopcycleshop6246]

Running locally in rural North Georgia is fairly normal. All of our Appalachian trail heads are closed so running the AT is a no go. Weekends got ridiculous with folks from the city coming up so I totally understand the trail heads being closed.

[@aaronbaldwin699]

Loved this video!! First I want to see the 40% 1 mile time trial🤣!! From Oregon on coast. Drove to two trail heads this morning to find them taped off like a police barricade. Ended up on some beach trails to get my 10 miles. Times are strange. Thanks for what you do!!

[@Wolfman1250s]

Very cool having a trail in your backyard 👍

[@lh3540]

i only found all these trail running videos because of the quarantine. gym's closed, parks are crowded, decided it was mountain time. i even got over my fear of running in the dark. year later, now i'm an accidental trail runner.

[@cbenson513]

Love your home trail loop. 6:05 Time trial trail guess. I'm in a condo, so no yard. Trails are pretty full here in Boulder, as is the path system. I am riding my bike instead as bike lanes/back roads are much less crowded. If we go full lock down I don't have a treadmill, but have an attachment so my bike can become a stationary trainer. I'll get some "biking" miles on my deck :-) Everyone stay safe and positive, we'll get through this.

[@gingeral]

In South Wales UK we are allowed to run once a day, however the local country park which has some pretty good trails for short runs up to 10k is currently closed mehh so its back to road running, fortunately like you I have a treadmill and bike turbo training but nothing compares to the trails - cant wait for this to be over. i have set up different rooms in the house for the family to keep fit, kitchen HiiT sessions, lounge turbo trainer, garage treadmill and weight training, so far only one of my sons has used the equipment as well as me of course,. I can fel the belt tightening, Ireland are down to only being able to run 2k from the house which wouldnt be an issue for me if I could use the trails on my local park - uncertain times for sure, loving the channel dude - i will probably do a vlog soon on a typical lockdown day in my house soon

[@jonpost1853]

The lockdown here in Jordan has now been extended by two weeks, no running, no trails, everything shut down. You can only go out for a few hours each day to the grocery store, pharmacy, etc. Arrests and cars being impounded for curfew violations. Hopefully AZ gets through this ok, looking forward to coming back to run and race there again! Stay safe.

[@heydee17]

Here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, most trails are packed, as some people both young and old really do not do social distancing. It has been hard at times, as I have been forced onto the shoulders of trails trying to avoid cyclists, runners, and walkers. They should be as scared of me as I am about them. It is proven social distancing works...

Great video on the simple things...sure want to see your treadmill and trail run under timing!

[@masairunning4323]

Thanks for sharing - subscribed! Here in the UK you're allowed out once a day to excercise locally. There's some debate for how long you can run for, but one Government Minister said run for as long as you normally do - uh oh! Keep safe everyone and keep your distance (in a nice way)

[@cbryant987]

Here in SLC, Utah we have a stay at home order, but are still allowed out into nature with proper social distancing. Easier trails are super busy right now, but the higher/harder ones still offer some solitude. I was alone atop Mt. Olympus on Saturday afternoon.

[@trickyricky792]

Trails in Boulder are as busy or maybe more busy than normal. Colorado has issued a statewide stay at home order but it says Coloradans may leave their home to engage in outdoor activity and state parks remain open.

[@devincassavaw]

Just outside of Burlington Vermont - they are also encouraging individual outdoor exercise under our shelter-in-place (if you can keep your distance), but it's getting difficult because of crowded foot traffic as well. Most trails that are maintained are closed because of mud rather than COVID-19 specific restrictions, but I imagine the restrictions will remain in place after mud season if we aren't yet out of the shelter-in-place order.

[@kerynklein5605]

I'm in Queensland Australia. They have closed our national parks and state forests. There is a few still open tho but probs not for long. We can still run around our local streets with only 1 other person or family members keeping 1.5m distance. Still so lucky though. Take care.

[@TerjeMathisen]

Norway did a good job by shutting down on March 13th, we're currently nr 1 or 2 in the world in number of tests per 100K citizens. This means that all gyms etc are closed down, but we're extremely lucky in that we have huge forest areas around even the largest cities like Oslo where I live. Since my sport is orienteering I can train just like normal, the only exception is that we can't socialize before or after map training runs, so compared to pretty much all other sports we're extremely lucky. My other sport, rock climbing is very different: Not only are the rock gyms closed but you also should not climb on any popular area since that would mean touching the same holds as any other climber within the last few days.

[@anitamarez]

Never thought this way before, Im blessed I have a long steep driveway. From house to mailbox and back I can get .25 of a mile with about 150' of gain. Plus I have steep woods around me. Think I can get about 1 mile or less if with 400' of gain if I'm creative.

[@CsabaTothMr]

In case I'll be confined to my home, one of my dream machine would be a Precor 835 / 885 AMT Elliptical (with Open Stride). I worked out on one during a business trip at a hotel multiple times, and at my friend's gym and I really like that Open Stride thing. Unfortunately it's in the $3K range and up, way too expensive. Although... just last weekend I had to have an emergency root canal (my first ever root canal) and the cost of that could have actually covered that machine. I don't know if my tooth hurt more, or the hole on my wallet, I hope none of you guys will have a root canal now in the midst of COVID-19 frenzy: I could only find two places out of ~15-20 I called during the weekend.

Alaska allows you to run outside while keeping a 6 ft margin, but you are supposed to stay at home and social distance. I've been doing a mix of workouts on the treadmill and long runs on the road.

I was sent home from work and have all the time in the world now since my contract is expired. The thing is a lot of trails here (Santiago, Chile) are closed and we are advised not to leave our homes. I just want to go running or hiking, and I understand the frustration, but we have to take this seriously and be responsible. Here, people took quarantine as a vacation and went to the beach, which is an hour drive away. I hope we are all able to get back to the trails soon, but for now, please take care of yourselves and everyone else by staying home.

[@rachaelpatricia9865]

In the UK now especially where I love the large training areas are blocked off. You are not allowed to drive your car to trails and our largest national part organisation have closed all open spaces. You are not allowed to meet people from other households and our biggest rule is to stay at home, protect the NHS and in turn save lives. This is standard for the whole of the UK. You are only allowed one family member into the grocery store, and it’s a one in one out system. You have to have a permit to drive around. At at 30th March. Our 1.2 million most vulnerable are also on a separate lockdown where they are not allowed to leave their homes at all. We have communities in place to support the ones living on their own. Thanks for your awesome videos!! I have a treadmill (Nordic track and also run loops around my building)

[@85MPrince]

Recommendation for the treadmill setup: sound bar for the mounted TV. It can be difficult to hear audio from the standard speakers built into the TV while running and watching a show. A quality or even a low range sound bar really makes the experience more enjoyable. It took me over a year to figure it out with my treadmill setup. But now, I’ll watch an action movie (John Wick) and the miles fly by. Good luck.

[@56932982]

I live in Germany. Our state still allows outdoor sport activities, as long as you are alone. I live in a mid sized city, close to the city border. So I am still able to get into the forest, which starts right at the city limits. I am currently recovering from an injury. I hope to get a first short run and some power hiking in tomorrow. I am more worried about grocery stores. At least when I was shopping some food last Thursday people where not paying any respect to physical distancing rules.

[@tomashonegr8701]

In Czechia you can still go outside to run or ride bicicle, but alone and you have to use face protection if you meet other people. I run after work. There are two hills 670 meters above sea level and make 1 hour loop every day. We have to stay home and reduce all social contacts .

In Italy we can leave our homes and we can go outside for a run. Sport is not banned and actually, the restrictions introduced for the coronavirus specifically stated that running and sport in general is stil alowed. Off course you have to stay next to your house and avoid being next to people. Some regions instroduced more stright rules such as Campania (where Naples is) and you can't even run in there but the majority didn't.

[@CsabaTothMr]

I'm in California (central valley) and people don't practice enough social distancing. So much so that the city park's parking lots got closed down because people swarmed them like crazy and it was absolutely unrealistic to keep any social distancing. So what do people do now? They just don't give a crap and park right at the closed gate at the entrance. The park itself is still open though, so if someone is not lazy, they could still come by bike or jogging (like I do), but some park visitors cannot even walk 50 yards to the BBQ shelters and drove on the gravel / grass where they clearly not supposed to be. Unfortunately I think the park does not have enough money to patrol and ticket these people. So people are lazy even in normal circumstances, but it irks me how they just don't give a crap and park at the gate. Since the park is open, there can be an emergency (like someone gets a heart attack or something), then the ambulance cannot enter, because all the 4 lanes were blocked at the closed gate. Today I made a little footage just for myself, and some owners immediately emerged saying "do you have any problem???" - like in a confrontational way. I explained that the parking areas are closed, noone supposed to park. Then they said "but the park is open". "Yes, but you cannot park here or anywhere int he park". "I don't see any sign that you cannot park here" (talking about in the middle of the f-ing 2x2 lane exit/entrance right at the closed gates). I just left, because I cannot fix stupid, but later when I was jogging I saw the police showed up. Police patrol time-to-time and they know that it's dangerous to block the gate in case of fire or medical emergency, so they nailed the cars parking there. Now I'm wondering if those IQ geniuses think that I called the police and will retaliate... unbelievable...
